I've reduced my settings to these three lines, no change.

Yes, I did it yesterday, it didn't help; now at this moment I did it
again and it works!?????????

I'm curious about tomorrow...

Emacs 26.3 from Fedora, all updates - if any - applied, several packages
from melpa and of my own.

Now I tried another example, a step to multi file projects. I applied
all the tricks, but the message was always:-(

"\\bibliography statement missing or .bib files not found"

I attach the example - the bibliographic file comes with biblatex, so I
assume that you have your own copy, it is in the BIBINPUTS serach path
and it works in another example, I've also linked it into the current
directory -, how is it working for you?

Kind regards
